It has been a very exciting week, let’s review… Lindsay Lohan is going to jail, & Lebron James has made every basketball fan demolish all of their fingernails as they anxiously awaited his decision regarding the team on which he wants to play, AND Brendon Clark won his 3rd PBR event in row on the 4th of July! I just can’t make out how that last bit of news somehow slipped by the ESPN or CNN news crew! Now, I know that my 1,300 Twitter followers don’t quite compare to Lindsay & Lebron’s 3 million combined followers! Nonetheless, it means something to me!
For those of you who don’t know me or my sense of humor, that last paragraph was meant to be funny, well at least the part about those other two was supposed to be witty! Me winning three events in a row though was no joke and I am pleased to say that in my career in the Professional Bull Riders, it will go down as one of my best and most satisfying accomplishments! It isn’t really known for sure if this has ever been accomplished in the PBR, and it really doesn’t matter to me, but it is pretty cool to be able & lucky enough to actually do it.
A lot has to go your way to be able to win a PBR, and I mean at any PBR level. First, you have to draw good bulls, 2nd you need to ride well, and 3rd you need to have a little luck with the way the other bulls & riders perform. To have all this happen at three events in a row is awesome and almost unheard of! Now please don’t take that as cocky, because there are plenty of bull riders out there who have the ability to do this, I guess the cards just haven’t fallen the right way for them like they have for me this week.
The past few years have not gone the way I’d hoped (most people only remember last year because that was the bad one), but I’ve missed the past three summers due to different injuries. I am really excited with the way my bull riding has shaped up in the past four months. I am feeling healthy and strong – both mentally and physically and I’m looking forward to the rest of the year.
As I mentioned in a previous blog, I’ve been doing a lot with www.brendonclark.com trying to make it better for you fans! Who, by the way, I need to thank for all of the continued support - even all of you who may not be specifically “Brendon Clark” fans, but just bull riding fans in general. I can’t tell you how much it means to have you guys cheering loud when we ride and still cheering for us when we’re down - it really means a lot and is appreciated by all of us riders! But anyway, I hope you like the site and encourage you to send in your questions, which I will attempt to answer in the funniest way I know on my Video Log (that’s VLOG for all you computer geeks) – let’s have some fun with this!
If you’re at an event come and say hi and if that isn’t possible follow me on twitter @brendonclark80!
Until next time, I’ll leave you with this:
“Don’t let fear stop you”!
